::runs back, carrying The Scroll of Grievances and the Sack of Personal Strength::

Really want to get me started n grievances? OK, then:

1. 11 close relatives have died in the month of December, including my Mom.

2. People who want “to stop in for a just few minutes” and then stay loooooong past their expiration date.

3. Commercials! Commercials! Ads! Traffic!! Rip-off’s! Greeeeed!

4. People pretending to be full of joy when they’re really full of carp.

That’s the top four.
And here’s my “Strength” for the day (I think it’s important to do a Festivus Personal Strength Countdown): I finally stopped eating honey BBQ potato chips last night when my jaw got too tired to chomp. NOT easy.

I have many grievances but thanks to my short memory, I forget them as soon as the source is removed from my proximity.

At the top of my list right now:

The screechy sound that packing tape makes when you wrap a package – and people who seem to think that unless you cover every inch of the box with tape, the package will not find its way to the recipient. Honestly, it doesn’t need to be waterproof! Yes, I know I’m petty. Another thing – how hard is it to put paper stuff in the recycling bin, especially when the trash and recycling are right next to each other?
